“Carnivorous” women, the female counterpart to “herbivorous men,” are seen by many to be eschewing traditional femininity just as effete men are confounding traditional masculinity, but just what is a carnivorous woman? A survey of Japanese men and women provides some answers as to how they perceive them.
The ranking, based on a survey of 1,156 people (63.8% of which were women), can be seen below, with participants asked what traits they associated with the image of a “carnivorous woman”:
1. She actively touches men’s bodies
2. She approaches men on her own
3. She doesn’t refuse invitations to come drinking
4. She has plenty of male friends
5. She’ll actively approach a man even if he is with his girlfriend
6. She wears thick eye makeup
7. She likes brand bags
8. She has a broad circle of friends
9. She gets every man’s number when on a group date (goukon)
10. She is honest in her mails
The survey was too circumspect to include traits such as “she has sex with a lot of men,” otherwise this might very well be number one, although having “lots of male friends” comes close…
Just what is thought to constitute a herbivorous man can be read about in the previous article on the subject.

Oh, I thought this was about feeding habits. If she is carnivorous, then the traits are 1. scurvy, 2. arthritis, 3. coronary heart disease, 4. increased risk of cancer.
Carnivorous Women must be killed with
Fire !
> forever alone...
Works for arctic natives so far ...
This is a perfect description of my friend.
> 1. She actively touches men’s bodies
... I may not mind this, if that man is me.
> 2. She approaches men on her own
Seriously, how else am I supposed to know if she is interested? I'm not wasting my time on chicks that are "taken".
> 3. She doesn’t refuse invitations to come drinking
Drinking can be fun. Sure.
> 4. She has plenty of male friends
is this a problem?
> 5. She’ll actively approach a man even if he is with his girlfriend
Now that's not nice....
> 6. She wears thick eye makeup
Eww.
> 7. She likes brand bags
Lame
> 8. She has a broad circle of friends
Um, Ok. Who doesn't?
> 9. She gets every man’s number when on a group date (goukon)
Group date? Why would I waste my time with that?
> 10. She is honest in her mails
+100pts on this one, honesty is win
Apart from 5 I don't see what the fuss is all about.
How can a carnivorous female be a female counterpart to the herbivorous of men? They'll devour them alive! speaking of which, i have most of the qualities there, so *RAWR*? XD
I don't think number 6 and number are true
I know a girl with all of that descrptions
Just when you thought you were safe from the top tens.
I am a “Carnivorous” woman. I am independent and not afraid of having fun. Sometimes this scares many insecure men.
Why the hell does so many of you think women just need to "want" having sex to get it? Where did you get the idea that all men are ideal for sex?
It is hard to be a independent woman who just want to find a good lover and playmate nowadays. Women are getting stronger, but men of today are getting more and more weak/fat/lazy/insecure.
Like many of you here, this reminds me of a cackling hens house. I get so pissed off.
With all these people saying things like this, they can't all be wrong can they?
If all idiots of this world assemble in one place to spout their nonsense in unity, they don't magically stop being idiots.
If you are independent, can you please explain why you need a man?
You ever heard of sex friends? Battery-powered toys are nice and all, but sometimes you just want the real thing. I don't see what this has to do with being independent or not.
Feel free to have as many sexual relations as you want with as many men as you want. Just be aware that after your youthful looks fade no sane man (unless he's your husband) will want to be your 'sex friend'. This will occur somewhere around 35. The average lifespan of women in America is 79 years. That's over four decades of near solitude from sexual relationships with men. I wish you the best of luck if you think you can beat the statistics.
Besides, I always thought independent women needed men like a fish needs a bicycle. But, if you need a man just for sex, so long as you have no intentions of becoming married in the future all the more power to you.
friend sex ?
friendly sex ?
you are a Carnivorous woman !
we found you !
it is too late for you !
you are misandry woman !
it's too late to lie !
I just want to add that I am not the same femanon as the original poster.
I might end up falling seriously in love with someone in the future, I never said that won't happen. But even if I decide to live with a man for the rest of my life, as long as I have my own steady source of income, I will stay independent. Standing by each other in times of trouble or even simple things like sharing household chores are acts of mutual commitment, not one partner depending on the other. I don't see your point.
The thought that men are of zero interest to independent women is absurd. Not all of us are purely lesbian. Or maybe 'independent woman' is synonymous to 'lesbian' for you. If so, that's pretty retarded.
Japan sure is going about this in a roundabout in exploiting the traits of a 'SLUT'.
10? What that even means? How being honest is bad? Did honest became a pejorative term in Japan?
Japanese Society is full of 'polite lie' bullshit. I guess being honest is the same as rude. Then again, in the USA there is the same bullshit done.
1, 2, 5 = maneater...lol...
with the exception of a few points, this list basically describes a whore/bitch. not that I have a problem with that however.
Ahhhh, my type of woman, independent and an animal in the sack, and won't say no to 3somes :D
The problem would be that she might say no to a threesome with you, cuz she has "plenty" of men.
...Shit, I should watch out for my childhood friend.
I wouldnt mind this type of woman at all!!
she-bros, the ultimate woman.
where is this picture from???
This list sums what a bitch is...
In short, be like Tendou from kamen rider kabuto
8 got me laughing
"broad" circle of friends XD
she'll cause trouble and be labeled a slut behind her back and associating yourself with such a women will jeopardize your relationship with your girlfriend/wife
I can accept everything on that list except for the eye makeup.
So~ that's why I always get invited by my girl friends (just plain friend) to drink with them!
sucks doesn't it?
i'd rather spend my time in my room and
play computer for 8 hrs.! d(>_<)b
these traits sound like the description of a stereotyped bimbo
SO A WHORE
If only every woman were Carnivorous, the world would be a perfect place.
Equality Now's women are carnivorous, are you sure?
they are Carnivorous as T-Rex ?
or less than T-Rex ?
this could be a difficult question !
Feminists aren't carnivorous in the sense of what this list is talking about. In fact, they're opposite of the carnivorous women in this list since they insist men do all the work.
Again, like Aliens, they want to have a horde of drones whose only purpose is to sustain them and go kamikaze if needed... stupid AvP2 game, it brings me back memories.
Read the list again. Are you sure?
"a parasitic organism that reproduces by destroying others but still behaving like animals"
Oh fuck... Agnes Chan is JENOVA.
Stupid metaphor of mine now I think Agnes-chan is the Alien Queen... XD
Well, they certainly fit the term 'carnivorous', just not the items in the list (then again, that list is kind of flawed).
Well, they are old and unsuccessful, but I am pretty sure they are not only carnivorous but completely fearsome for all men.
They are the "Xenomorphs" metaphorically, a parasitic organism that reproduces by destroying others but still behaving like animals.
We have a saying that middle age women are like wolves and tigers.
yeah !
ThunderCats !
nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom
nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom
In North America, we call the ones who hit on younger men "cougars."
Cougars are carnivorous.
Cows are herbivorous.
